Editorial Reviews

Review

Superbly executed... by turns funny, revealing and sad, the novel is both enchanted and enchanting' Daily Telegraph Cool, crafted poise and sly wit' Penny Perrick, The Times 'Jennifer Johnston's latest novel is a modern fairy tale with a dark theme... she handles [her material] so delicately, so deftly and wittily that we willingly suspend disbelief' Margaret Walters, Sunday Times 'Jennifer Johnston spins her yarn into a shimmering confection whose surface limpidity conceals layer upon layer of narrative meaning, yet whose overall effect is of simplicity, lightness and ease... This is a novel of immense sophistication, familiar yet distant as the moon of the title' Irish Times --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two Moons--A book with symbolism to blow your mind, July 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Two Moons Hb (Hardcover)
Two Moons is an excellent novel. Its use of symbolism throughout the novel is amazing. The book has a strong theme of guilt between all the characters and also has a small focus on old age and the preparation of death. It is a good read, not a long read and very poetic and a fantastic ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Magical Realism on the Irish coast, December 7, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Two Moons (Paperback)
Imaginative tale of three generations of Irish women, and their men. However, my favorite of Johnston's books still remains "the Illusionist."

1.0 out of 5 stars Soylent Dick Says: An Inspiration, even though nothing happens!!!!, September 20, 2011
This review is from: Two Moons (Paperback)
You might ask: how could I describe it as an inspiration whilst only giving it one star? The answer is simple: I thought that if someone could write a drab, uneventful book such as this, and get it published, surely I could do the same - hopefully with a better story.

Some years ago I had to review this book for some further study I was undertaking. I cannot remember what I told the group about it. But I wish I had stuck to my first impressions:

"In this book, nothing happens."
